“Really, it’s not him, it’s you.”
Journolist may be gone but the brain-dead mantra generating machine continues its uncritical support of The Lightbringer.
Not only do six out of 10 voters “lack faith in the president to make the right decisions for the country,” according to a Post-ABC News poll, but Barack Obama does not even get credit for the right decisions he’s made. The bank bailout averted a financial crackup and the stimulus package pulled the economy back from the abyss. Along with reform of the financial industry and health care, these are considerable achievements. Only the voters disagree.
Stupid voters. Who let them in?
The people who mock religious Americans as unenlightened continue their blind faith in a man and policies that have no real historical underpinnings to justify the wishful thinking. In the minds of the chattering class that’s so desperate for President Obama to be the transcendent figure they’ve been telling us he is, this is all going to work out simply because it has to. And anyone who criticizes what’s actually happening is evil.
Until these measures prove popular, they can be mischaracterized by Republicans and other evil-doers.
Cohen, of course, is merely fulfilling his parrot duties. President Obama introduced the “you just don’t get it” meme when he said the reason so many opposed the health care overhaul was simply because he didn’t explain it well.
Parrots aren’t renowned for their thoughtful contributions to history, by the way.
It is both pathetic and amusing to watch an entire segment of American society behave in a purely emotional, anti-intellectual fashion all the while dismissing those who disagree with them as stupid.
Cohen attempts a somewhat critical examination of Obama’s popularity problem then undoes it all by wrapping it up with a vacuous, Oprah-esque conclusion.
Americans know Obama is smart. But we still don’t know him. Before Americans can give him credit for what he’s done, they have to know who he is. We’re waiting.
No, Mr. Cohen, Americans don’t need a deeper knowledge of the innermost workings of President Obama. That’s what those of you experiencing a disturbing and unrequited love affair with him need.
Americans need jobs. Americans need elected officials who listen to us.
And you will find out very soon that the voters do indeed get it.
I don’t like it, but the People spoke when they voted in Obama. I also don’t like it when decades-old politicians no longer represent the people’s wishes & only represent big govt.
It comes down to the voters. Let’s face the facts, history tells us that all great civilizations fall from within. It’s up to the People to decide when it’s our turn to fall. For me, I’ll like to keep the country alive & democratic for a few more generations.
The Obamaniacs cannot understand how the ignorant masses fail to understand the blessings he brings us. Where he is aloof they see a complex mind at work. The rest of us just see a detached snob. When he speaks they hear the voice of god, we hear a talented teleprompt-orator (like a velociraptor with wind instead of teeth).
Pretending to see the deeper issues make these twits feel special and superior. They need that, because, whereas they may be ‘special’ (read short-bus kids), the are in no way superior.
My aologies to scpecial ed kids who rode the short bus to school. It was insensitive and even cruel of me to compare such wonderful people to Obamanicas.
For those who are too young to recall, a special short school bus was used for special ed (now special needs) kids. Today they use a congressional limosouine. DO’OH! There I go again. Bad blogger, BAD, BAD!
Parrots and history. Heh.
Oh the dilemma of enlightening the masses – seems like an uphill battle for them, don’t it?
